I would like to stay current with Shotwell releases by compiling
everything from source.
The problem I run into is that with each Shotwell release
dependencies are changing and many times the distro is unable
to provide some of these dependencies.
Can you give some examples of dependencies that the distro is
unable to provide?
Colin
How about even the compiler:
$ make
Shotwell requires Vala compiler 0.20.1 or greater. You are
running 0.16.1 \b.
make: *** [valacheck] Error 1
# yum list vala
Available Packages
vala.i686
0.16.1-1.fc17
updates
And before you go down the path that F17 is EOL. There are a lot
of people who have very stable systems running older
releases of Fedora as well as other distros. Including Ubuntu LTS
distros that would like to be able to have a current
and working Shotwell install.
Good point. In the case of old versions of Ubuntu, Vala is
available
via a ppa I believe, but I don't know whether the equivalent exists
for Fedora.
It is difficult to see a solution. If the required version of Vala
is
not available for Fedora then the only solution I can see would be
to
build it oneself. The same would apply for any other dependencies I
imagine. Perhaps that is what you were thinking of, a complete set
of sources and build scripts for all the dependencies.
Colin
Is there a way to compile Shotwell and all of its dependencies from
source separate from the distro as a whole build
process?
That's what I am asking for. An entire build process for everything.
I think the easiest solution here by far is to upgrade to a newer
version of your distro if at all possible. I run the latest (non-LTS)
Ubuntu, for example - it's very stable.
